British Airways is expecting a total of seven days of strikes this month from its cabin crew.

The union representing around 30,000 cabin crew at the airline has said that workers will strike for three days from March 20th and another four days from March 27th.

The holiday plans of thousands of travellers leading up to the Easter holidays could be disrupted.

BA has said it is disappointed with the decision by the union and workers and has begun to train around 1,000 workers from other departments to stand in for the strikers.
